Question on LED headlight bulb?
Here's a screenshot could not copy link for some reason but i did ask them to confirm 16000 lumens a set and what the useable LUX is.
So I just ordered another set Of led headlight bulbs H13 the set I have now has I believe a decoder on it but I notice one headlight was out yesterday when I got to work but there was no instrument cluster saying Hey something was out.
Which brings me to this The ones I just got do not have a decoder for it/resistor I know are front and rear signal lights will hyper Flash and we need a decoder for that or jumping to the computer and fix it So we shouldn't need a decoder for headlights correct?
Kind of excited for these hope they turn out well not only do they have a heat sink on the outside just like the fan list led's but it also has a fan on the inside of it twice as much cooling , we will see

When I tested for the hyper flash feature by removing one of the rear 3157 bulbs, I had no hyper flash nor did I have an idiot light saying that a bulb was out. I'm going to try again to double check this. So I am thinking that my hyperflash may be turned off. Let us know how you make out.

Okay thanks. I'm just waiting to save up and buy the VLEDs. Let us know how these new LED H13 bulbs work out.

No you don't need a canbus for led headlights or dogs. The only bulbs that indicate an outage are the turn signals. They'll fast-flash. They'll also do that when led bulbs are used for turn signals. This can be disabled with forscan.

I dont see how they got their numbers. They say they use a Cree XHP50. Looks like 1 each side of each bulb. Cree specs show max watts per led is 19w and a max lumen is 2546. So using 4 total chips they could hit 76 total max watts. but they say they are only 30 watts per bulbs. The max lumens these lights could produce is 10184 with all 4 on. Im sure their response will say the lights can produce up to 16000 lumens.

Along the lines of Leds, I was inquiring about getting some Leds for my '18. But the guy told me that the way the Leds were designed, they wouldn't really project light very well due to the small reflector piece that sits in front of the bulb. Is anyone actually running LEDs getting a good beam??

I also looked at these. I like that they come in 5000k to keep it more white light than the bluish tint of the 6500ks. This is where I'm debating on buying the Triton V6 Extremes for my 3157s in the front and rear because they are having a 20% off Fall sale.

Did you post this on their YouTube as well ? I asked him what the working lux is for these waiting to hear back from them I don't expect them to put out what they say but if they put out as much light as the ones I currently have I will be more than happy when they get here eventually I will post photos 👍

It was my window tint/car sound/light go to guy. He's been in the business for quite some time. He was saying that the way the "buttons" for the LEDs won't point straight to the reflectors that sit directly in front of the bulb ( as we were there looking at my headlights) wouldn't get a good pattern.?? I just picked up my 18 last week so I'm just starting to look into lights.
